England Women vs Spain Women predictions: World Cup rivals can serve up a treat
England are looking to retain the European Championship title they won at Wembley three years ago
Spain are hoping to add to their World Cup and Nations League triumphs
Recommended bet: Over 2.5 goals
The two teams who started the Women’s European Championship seen as the most likely winners, England and Spain, will lock horns in Sunday’s final in Basel and La Roja are hot favourites to add the continental crown to their trophy collection following their World Cup and Nations League triumphs.
Both teams needed extra-time to make the final and their matches at the tournament have been packed full of action and incident, so it would be no surprise if the final dished up a match to remember.

Team news
England’s Lauren James left their semi-final victory over Italy at half-time with an ankle injury and she looks likely to be replaced by Arsenal’s Beth Mead, while Esme Morgan will be hoping to keep her place in the heart of defence after replacing Jess Carter for the last-four clash.
Spain defender Laia Aleixandri was suspended for Spain’s semi-final win over Germany and looks set to come back in for Maria Mendez.
The stats
Both teams have scored in six of England’s last eight matches.
England have conceded first in three of their five games at Euro 2025.
Spain have scored at least twice in nine of their last 10 matches.
While their two knockout games have featured under 2.5 goals, Spain’s previous eight had all seen at least three goals.
Nine of England’s last 10 outings have contained at least three goals.

Prediction
England have had to scrap their way to the final of the Women’s European Championship and they may be feeling that their name is on the trophy after the efforts needed to get through their knockout clashes against Sweden and Italy.
The Lionesses have been at their best when they have been on the front foot and their best chance of upsetting the odds and beating World Cup winners Spain will be to attack, so that should lead to a goal-filled final in Basel even if they are unsuccessful.
Both semi-finals were tight and had to be settled in extra-time, but recent matches point to the likelihood of plenty of goals.
England’s defence has looked far from solid and Spain’s extra-time victory over Germany was the first time in 10 games that they had failed to score at least twice.
With nine of England’s last 10 outings having featured at least three goals and the Lionesses demonstrating in this tournament that they do not know when they are beaten, there looks a strong chance that we will be served up a final to remember.
